2003 f150 4x4 front brake problems

Replaced front rotors and pads back in feb. of this year. About a month or so after it sounded like the brakes had worn down quickly, found out my rt. side front pad had cracked, so i replaced both pads again, didnt turn rotors because they looked good and didnt shimmy or pull to one side. After all this and about another month passes my front brakes sounded exactly the same, like it had cracked again. This time i had the rotors turned and ANOTHER set of pads replaced. And now, sounds exactly like before, like the pads have worn down and starting to grind. Was wondering though if a caliper could be bad, it doesnt pull to one side nor does it shimmy. But all this has started since i have replaced with eveything new. Any help from anyone would be great thanks

Yes the caliper and or its hardware (that is included with re manufactured calipers) is toast. I had the same deal. replaced the pads and they wore out in a year (7k miles) replaced the rotors pads and calipers and all has been good since..
